Question

My son just turned 3 and he has no interest in potty. Ive tried everything. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

take him to the store let him pick out about 6 pairs of underwear and when he pees in them make him sit  on the hard wood floor and his wet undies he will learn quick!!!

Answer 2

Leave him alone, he isn't ready to potty train.

Answer 3

watch potty training videos on youtube, he might like them.   Other than that, you can't do much, I bet you he will be totally trained by 3 and a half.

Answer 4

get a potty trainning dvd its called bear in big blue house potty training its a cartoon of a bear its also on playhouse disney let him watch that then ask if he needs potty u may find it will work its worked for both ma kids good luck

Answer 5

I dont know how well this will go over but..

Dont give him the option. Take away the diapers and make him use the toliet. Pick a weekend when you will be able to spend every free second with him and take off his diaper, sit the traing toliet in the living room(or wherever he plays) and every 15-20 minutes sit him on it. Have him sit there for a few minutes, read a book sing a song (my daughter liked twinkle little star, my son blues clues). I know these days people say its up to the kids to say when they are ready but I had two in diapers at the same time and once she was old enough that she knew the reason we had a potty and was capable of holding it my daughter was using the potty at 2. Now my 19 month old son does. Its time consuming but it really does work. And if you make it fun its not even a punishment. They get to spend a whole lot of time with you and sing and read and walk around half naked.

best of luck

Answer 8

Well my father-in-law suggested having my son pee on a tree once he got older to be potty trained. I guess the idea of peeing on something outside or whatnot is fun to them...lol. My father-in-law used it on a friends son and he learned after that. Also I hear putting cheerios in the tiolet to give them something to aim at??

But really you can't force your son into anything. The more you push him, the more he will drag his feet. Though him going to the potty would be much easier, you might have to wait it out and gradually introduce him to it. Try to make it fun for him. Rewards are always a good idea also.

Good Luck!!

Answer 9

i would say to stop trying for now....although it will be very tempting to keep asking him if he has to got potty.....if you leave him alone about it for awhile...he will eventually want to do when it is his idea...good luck

Answer 10

I heard about how my friend taught her son with the "lets water the plants" trick and it worked big time. Hope that garden is yours though. LOL !!
